Uganda Airlines is set to launch four-times-weekly flights between Uganda and Ghana on October 27, 2026, strengthening air connectivity between West and East Africa and creating new opportunities for trade, tourism and business travel.
The new service will add another East African carrier to Accra’s international aviation network, bringing the number of East Africa-based airlines serving Accra International Airport to four.
Beyond the new route, passengers will be able to connect to 19 destinations across 14 countries, including Nairobi, London, Dubai, Mumbai and Zanzibar.
Euroworld Air Services Limited will serve as Uganda Airlines’ General Sales Agent in Ghana.
The launch comes amid growing efforts by African airlines to improve intra-continental connections and reduce reliance on indirect routes through Europe and the Middle East. More convenient air links could help businesses connect with new markets, facilitate commercial travel and encourage tourism between the two regions.
For Ghana, the new route offers an additional gateway to East Africa, improving access for traders, investors and tourists seeking opportunities across the continent.
For Ugandan businesses and travellers, Accra provides access to one of West Africa’s key commercial centres, with opportunities for partnerships in sectors including trade, services and tourism.
Stronger air links could support the objectives of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) by making business travel and the movement of people between African markets more efficient. Improved connectivity can also help tourism operators develop multi-country travel packages, encourage investment and strengthen commercial relationships.
With its October 27 launch approaching, Uganda Airlines’ entry into Accra adds momentum to efforts to build a more connected African aviation market, linking Ghana more directly with East Africa and expanding travel options for passengers and businesses on both sides of the continent.
